The applicants had no substantive right to remain in Hong Kong beyond the subsistence of their employment; the Executive's policy change and passport endorsements fell within powers conferred by the Immigration Ordinance and were not ultra vires or void for uncertainty; no legitimate expectation arose entitling applicants to remain to the previously endorsed expiry; judicial review relief was not available and the motion was dismissed.
